 I asked druggist how many places sell li1uor in Clear Iakeg
 1.-Two, our store and the drug store across the street.
 Are you allowed to sell liquor to any one?
 Any person can apply who is of age"
 What is the largest quantity you have sold to one person at any times
 ''One half gallon.'
 Can you sell any quantity a per son calls for?
 "No, we can sell any quantity under five gallons. s.'
 What prevents y GU from mak- ing whisky business on large scale?
 Well, if we sell to man who is in the habit of getting drunk, or to one, who some relative has forbidden us to sell whisky to, or if we sell, the second time to a man who did get drunk, then our permit will be revoked" What does a permit cost yous
 Nothing, only about three years of hard study"
 Does the law require every man who sells hquor to have a diplo' ma as a pharmacist!
 "It does.' flow abo ut lager beer and ci der!
 "Lager beer is restricted the same as whisky. but cider any one cap sell" Next l questioned the Ex-May or. How long were you mayor ol | Clear Lake! About six years" i Then you had experience witt high license and prohibition also "Yes sir Which affords the best protec- ton to the people' | Prohibition does, although am a high license man."
 How is that! "Prohibition protects the citi zens best, because high license brings Tn a large city revenue" How many arrests of all kinds were made last year? "Only about six"
 Did you have any saloons last year?
 "No. the saloons are gone the boys are safe, but old drinkers will get liquor shipped them II disguise" How about the farmers. Dc they send off and get whisky!
 No, they won't go to that trouble. The farmers who used to spend a good deal for beer at the saloons on Saturday, now spend their money in a better way and go home sober"
 So much for prohibition; now about crops. A long drought has made the crop late and short, corn is not knee high. Wheat, oats and grass are light, on account of dry weather. Yours Respect,
